Bible Question (short): When were marriages first documented ? |
Question (full): The question I am asking is directed to our historians and archaeological experts: the scripture mentions a certificate of divorce Deut 24:1. It seems that the people were writing and possibly records or certificates were composed. A couple of co-workers questioned me or challenged me about marriage. They said it is only a piece of paper and that marriage license was established in the 17th century. Because I recalled the mention of a writ of divorce; I assumed there must have been a certificate of marriage. Then, I was thinking maybe when paper, papyrus, was developed court records were established. Anyway, can I get some help? When I look up origins of marriage, there is a flood of opinions especially regarding same-sex marriage. Maybe I am going about this all wrong? Thanks Fellowlaborer |
